Good news: Now, run Android apps on your Windows 8 devices
Sunnyvale, California: AMD has launched AppZone in collaboration with BlueStacks to enable consumers to experience popular Android apps on a broad range of Microsoft Windows 7- and Windows 8-based devices.
The semiconductor design innovator AMD has announced the launch of AMD AppZone, an online showcase for applications and games accelerated by AMD Radeon graphics processing units (GPUs) and AMD accelerated processing units (APUs). In addition to featuring some of the most recognizable PC games and productivity apps, consumers can now download and seamlessly run popular Android apps on AMD-based computers running Windows 7 and Window 8.
According to a press release issued by AMD, the collaboration with BlueStacks to enable the AMD AppZone Player, will bring thousands of Android apps to the millions of AMD-powered tablets, notebooks, all-in-one and desktop computers. Consumers can automatically sync their AppZone apps with Android-based devices via BlueStacks Cloud Connect, a cloud-based service that enables a Windows-based PC to become an extension of an Android mobile device and vice versa.
“By collaborating with BlueStacks, we are enabling software developers to more easily tap into the full capabilities of AMD’s products, and providing millions of consumers with great experiences as they can now run Android apps on AMD-powered devices” said Manju Hegde, corporate vice president, Heterogeneous Applications and Developer Solutions at AMD.
